Curiouser and curiouser. Not the theory, of course, which Guido put forward some time before the Daily Telegraph, but the fact that the police seem to be briefing about it. Something "Downing Street" has done must have really ticked them off.
I am still not sure I believe this account of the sequence of events on Friday. For the Attorney General to apply, in the interests of justice, for an injunction to prevent publication of a document leaked by the office of his political master would be impressive; nay honourable. It's the sort of thing one might have expected of a law officer before the Blair era.
I am sorry to say that, in the current climate of New Labour deceit, it is about as plausible as an appointment to the House of Lords on merit.
I'm afraid I'm of your variety of cynicism here, Tom.

I think I agree with Ian. I've probably commented before here that I'm with Sartre on elections and politics: "a trap for fools" - because governments all end up as bad as each other! Your analysis is always illuminating, tp.

All very entertaining. The Champagne went back on the rack last weekend and I'm still dithering whether to put it back in the Fridge.
I keep humming "bring down the Government" by Lindisfarne from their Dingley Dell album. It was aimed at the Tories then but is just as relevant for our current bunch of shysters.
